Kevin was an amazing host, the communication prior to our arrival and during our stay was great! He provided so much information about the local town, the trains and the house itself. Very convenient for traveling just about anywhere in Tokyo, and the town itself had lots of grocery options, restaurants and bars, everything we needed. All around a great location and trip to Tokyo!
It’s a great place to stay and 10 minute walk to the train station. There are a number of good coffee shops and small restaurants nearby. Because it’s out of the tourist area, it gives you an accurate idea of how regular people live, work and commute in Tokyo.
Kevin was very nice and had great local recommendations.

Property is in great location, handy to local station, laundromat, grocery store and other shops. House clean, comfortable and has everything you need for a great stay in Tokyo. Our host Kevin was fantastic, he really looked after us. Very quick to respond to our questions and very knowledgeable and friendly.
This was an amazing place to stay. It is in a quiet residential neighborhood where rental properties are very hard to find. It’s a quick walk to the train station, and you pass buy a range of mom-and-pop restaurants: Japanese, Halal, Italian. The house is spacious and well laid out with the bedrooms separated from the common rooms, keeping the noise down. We would for sure stay here again!

Hi Andrew,
Thank you for your stay and comments, you guys are easy going guests! I wish I can do more for guests, is just a simple classic humble place that you can rest after a hectic day nothing fancy. Arigato
We had a great stay and Kevin made it very easy for us on our first family trip to Japan. Easy access to trains, stores and restaurants with great recommendations. The house was perfect for transitioning to Tokyo time and well stocked with everything needed. Highly recommend

Hi Tim
Thank you for your stay. I wish I could had done more during your stay. I was worry about your late arrival. Pls come again to Japan.
Very clean and spacious place in a nice quiet neighborhood
We really enjoyed our stay here. The place is very clean and has a lot of room. The neighborhood is so quiet, yet it is only a short walk to convenience stores, a grocery store, many restaurants, and the train station. The host is great, they provided plenty of helpful information for first-time visitors to Japan. I would highly recommend staying here if you want a place in a quiet neighborhood that is an easy train ride into the heart of Tokyo.
It was a lot larger than we thought and was a great place for us to come back to after wandering the rest of Japan.
Mind the stairs leading to the basement/first floor area since they can hurt if you slip.
It was very authentic and nice!
Quiet neighbourhood and close to transport. Kevin provided a lot of helpful information and was very responsive to my questions. The house contents and towels need an update but overall the experience of living like a local was wonderful.

Kevin was outstandingly helpful with information about the local area, trains, transportation from airport and many other things. The house was lovely. Located in a quiet neighborhood convenient to the train station , local grocery, restaurants and stores. The house was clean and extremely well-stocked for our stay. We hope to visit again. Thank you Kevin!

Hey Terri
Thank you so much for your stay. I hope you had a great time in Japan. I hope I could’ve done more for your stay. Please come again.
We were 2 couples staying at Kevin’s. It was a great location, close to a vibrant coffee shop, a pasta restaurant and a Mediterranean restaurant that serves falafel. A pharmacy, 7 Eleven and other stores were nearby. It was a five minute walk to the train station, which we rode daily. I definitely recommend this property.
This was the first property we stayed at on our trip to Japan.
The location is perfect 2 stops out from major attractions and central Tokyo.
There some great local restaurants and coffee shops
It is very quiet neighborhood which is great to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.
The only downsides were that the building is let out to others and the although they were not noisy we did hear every footstep above and voices. However this doesn't distract from a great owner and location.
We loved our stay at Kevin's place. It's in a delightful quiet, leafy neighbourhood, just a 6-7 minute walk to the station. There are a few restaurants and shops around, everything you need. Ikebukuro is incredible, especially if you love shopping! It's only 2 stops from Kevin's local station and from there you can access the rest of Tokyo easily. Kevin was very communicative and helpful, always easy to reach. This is a lovely base from which to explore Tokyo, we highly recommend it.

Rowena you and your family are wonderful guests. Thank you so much I couldn’t do much for you I hope I can next time. God bless 🙏
The House was large and comfortable, Kevin, Host, was attentive, friendly, supportive, knowledgeable, respectful, and quick to communicate. We wanted to contribute to the house and future guests because the place is special. Many local trains and grocery stores. Easy to get to anywhere in Tokyo and beyond from there. We would definitely consider it a home away from home and place to stay again when we go to Japan.

Diane & George, thank you so much for your stay in your compliments. I wish I could’ve done more for your stay. Wish you well and come back. You guys are excellent excellent guests.
The location was not too far from the station and within walking distance are many shops and small restaurants. It is a short ride to Shinjuku, Shibuya and Ikebukuro. All the amenities are included and we ran out of nothing. Kevin had been a super host and very informative and communicative about the city and home. In Japan, we found many stairways are narrow and steep in comparison to North America, they are easy to go down but should still be careful. I would recommend the stay!
Kevin was very communicative and also very helpful in providing suggestions on places to visit or eat. His video that he sent to us just before we arrived showed us exactly how to arrive at the home. It is in a very convenient location with supermarkets, convenience stores and the train station within minutes of the home. Ikebukuro was just a few minutes away by train and from there we used other trains or the subway to get to other parts of Tokyo easily.
We highly suggest you stay there if you want to be away from the busyness noisy city.
Really enjoyed our stay. Tons of room for 4 people. House was very clean with lots of amenities supplied. Host's communication was excellent. Only drawback was the sink in the bathroom has no hot water so if you need to shave you have to boil a kettle and fill the sink.
The neighbourhood is absolutely wonderful. Lots of great bars, izakayas and restaurants. 24 hour konbinis all around. Very short walk to the station which takes you to Ikebukuro in a matter of minutes.
The house provided us with a very quiet and relaxing sanctuary after enjoying all the excitement that Tokyo has to offer.
My first Vrbo and especially in a foreign country to me. The owner made it so easy and was very communicative. We stayed for 1 week. The house was perfect for our family, but we were also all adults. The house was snug for us, but plenty of room for all of us to have our own space/bedrooms. Five minute walk to the train, 2 minute walk to the 7-11. Great way to experience Japan without hotels. Would definitely recommend to any group who want to visit Japan and experience it as a native of Tokyo. Kevin was GREAT and checked in on us. GREAT experience.

Hi and good to hear your comments again, yes the house is just consider as spacious classic nothing fancy so I can only wish to do more for my guests. Glad that you like the peaceful neighborhood with the conveniences. God bless you all!
We really enjoyed our 12 days in Tokyo staying in this clean, comfortable, well located house. The house, set over 2 floors, was big enough for our family of 5 (3 teenagers) to enjoy our stay while still having room to relax and unwind. The house is in a quiet little neighbourhood full of japanese character, with many delicious and cheap restuarants within short walking distance as well as corner stores and supermarkets. The local train station is an easy walk from the house and only 2 short stops from Ikebukuro which is worth a visit in itself but is also a major station with connections to the sites of Tokyo. Kevin, the host was extremely helpful and is easily contacted if you have any questions regarding the house, the area or need sight seeing advice.

Thank you very much Brett and your family for your stay. I wish I can provide you more, but looks like you were OK and wanna have more privacy. Japan welcome you back and I welcome you back anytime.
Take care of your trip and enjoy.

Kevin was a lovely host who was very welcoming - his communication was excellent with lots of advice and tips about the local area. Tokyo House is in a safe and authentic neighbourhood close to the train station, amongst a number of restaurants, stores and cafes & is suitable for a large group or family. The house itself is an older style house, which could definitely do with a refresh. There are several water leaks and some mould in the bathroom, a large water stain in living area as well as some stains on the bed sheets and towels - the toilet mat also needs to be replaced or cleaned. Apart from these small things, which can be easily fixed, we enjoyed our stay at Tokyo House.

Thank you so much for your stay and your comments. I will surely look into it and replace those items.
Japan loves you please come back
This property was a comfortable base for my family to explore Tokyo for a few days. Kevin is an excellent host and provided lots of useful information ahead of our arrival. A surprising highlight was exploring the local neighbourhood where we had some wonderful experiences at a local sushi restaurant, a funky bar, and an awesome little cafe for breakfast. These experiences are so much richer than staying at a sterile boring hotel!
My only minor complaint is the height of the doorways was very low (not uncommon in Japan) and with my height (well over 6’) inevitably I ended up cracking my head more than a few times! However, that didn’t detract from what was a very comfortable stay. Thank you Kevin!

Hey, thank you for sharing your experience. I’m glad that you like the local area small eatery, small shops, you can always find a mega one in Ikebukuro.
Sorry about bumping your head lol we are all small people. The last generation therefore some of the door height is not that high.
Come back again!
